ABSTRACT:
A two-piece inflatable kite is made from configured, mirror imaged top and bottom polyester films which are heat sealed about their peripheral edge. Integrally extending from the edges forwardly and rearwardly are string connecting tabs formed from the top and bottom films. The tabs support reinforced apertures for attaching the kite string bridle. The top and bottom film portions also form a valve for adding air into and out of an air tight compartment within the kite. The air tight compartment also forms the wings of the kite.
